Supply Chains are made up of a network of companies from the initial raw materials to the ultimate consumer of the finished product. Within this network of companies, there are three ongoing flows: products, information, and finances. To properly understand and manage the supply chain, you need to understand all the flows. If you do not consider all of the flows, you will miss opportunities or sub-optimize parts of the supply chain.
The last of five courses in this specialization is a capstone. You will have the opportunity to show what you learned and apply it to your Supply Chain Excellence project. It will consist of four modules, which will cover the following topics: product flow strategy; information flow strategy; how to use the supply chain to create financial success; and finally, the capstone case study. You will have lectures, readings, and discussions with your peers for each topic, as well as a practice quiz in each lesson. At the end of each module, you can put your knowledge to the test and take a graded quiz. The Capstone Analysis module contains a real-life case analysis that will enable you to be an expert on a company of your choosing.
In this module, you will combine all the pieces and create a product flow strategy. The lessons in this module are 1. Planning for Product Flow, 2. Identifying Product Flow Issues, and 3. Designing Solutions.
